To train the talent and develop the knowledge that moves the world forward.

Our mission is to shape this talent by transmitting the know-how and the people skills that are needed. This implies developing a clear vision of tomorrow's world.

Values that drive the world forward

• Commitment: to a mission that drives both EDHEC and its community. Commitment, the key virtue in great leaders.
  
• Conviction: because no one can successfully lead a project they don't believe in.
  
• Culture: because it is essential to understand others and to understand the key issues and challenges in today's world.
  
• Solidarity: an EDHEC value for over a century, it underpins our students' deep-seated humanity.
  
• Independence: which allows us to make our own choices and to act freely in the governance of the school, and independence in the spirit of our alumni which enables them to tackle any issue that may arise with great open-mindedness.

 
To be the first choice business school for European firms by 2010

It is the market that will express this preference.

It is the market that will express business organisations' demand for our students, our programmes and our research because the market appreciates the force of our values, the fit between our courses and their needs, and the quality of responses offered by our research to the new challenges that the business world and society must confront.
